The region in the Gulf of Gokova known as Seven Islands, or Yediadalar, which features secluded turquoise coves graced by Storax pine forests, a rare species from which myrrh is extracted. The waters here are out of this world, famously clean and great for snorkelling, while the coastlines of pine forests and olive groves are perfect for walking. Sail on to the unique golden beach on Cleopatra’s Island, Sedir Adasi, and explore the amphitheatre and temple here soaking up the atmosphere of ancient mythology. English Harbour and Longuz are both well-loved and idyllic spots in the gulf, famous for their sea life, incredible water, and as secret stops for sailors and fishermen for many years now. English Harbor is a beautiful hidden inlet that takes it name after being used as a base for British Motor Torpedo Boats in the Second World War. Here there are a couple of lovely restaurants on the waterfront serving local Aegean fish, seafood and meze under the stars. Stop at the relaxed village of Cokertme for great hikes, a sandy beach and delicious local seafront dining hosted by the famously warm locals. Finally, stop at the stunning bay of Kisebukuen route to Bodrum.
